Mind the gap
10:47am Fri 15 Aug 14

We have similar issues with our local Lidl, until recently they were running a 24 hour operation with deliveries in the middle of the night / early morning and stock cages being rattled about outside 24 hours / 7 days a week. We currently have HGV lorries waiting in neighbouring streets with their engines running and blocking emergency access routes and access for other vehicles. The problem is that many of these stores have been built in quiet residential areas where the roads have not been designed to deal with large scale HGV deliveries. My advice is not to accept any payment or vouchers from Lidl and take it up with your local councils noise abatement department as dealing with Lidl direct is a waste of time.

How on earth did she think that any supermarket of that size would only need one lorry a day to replenish it. She chose to live above a supermarket loading bay. She already had at least one of those children when she moved in, with the other on the way. What about the traffic in Leatherhead Road itself? That is like the A3 most of the day, & night.
Why did she choose this location, or is this where the local authority placed her?

Affordable/social housing is often built above or surrounding new shop developments as that's how the companies get through the planning application. It must be fairly evident there are going to be deliveries to cope with demand in the area. Unfortunately, this particular Lidl doesn't have a big enough car park for customers, let alone all these deliveries. Unless you get there first thing in the morning you can sit queueing on the main road to get a space there. These flats are brand new, spacious and frankly she's lucky to have one and whilst it must be a nightmare for her with young children, I don't know what else she was expecting as what's written down on the original plan was always going to be up for change due to the size and demand of the store.

those properties are so nice, i certainly wouldn't complain if i was living their! however and i have to agree if the noise is out of control then maybe the developers need to come back and do some additional sound proofing, however their has been no mention of the times of these delevieries are they at un sociable times i.e. between 10pm and 7am?

I only asked if this was the case. Is it? If it is, it might just be the case that she felt she had to take it or lose her place on the list. I do not know.
In any property above a thriving business is going to face disruption. Surely she knew it would be a Lidl when she moved in. It is the same as the attitude of people who move into a house next to an airport or motorway, & THEN complain about the noise.

Wow so many negative people. I personally know Katie and the neighbours and let me tell you all this...These flats are awful, the neighbours are constantly saying things are going wrong with them, katies floor fell through in her son's bedroom the day she moved in. All the neighbour's have had flooding issues, plumbing issues etc. There's a huge decking communal area yet resident's have been told no children are allowed on it by the housing association. Sooo lucky aren't they??? And yes 8 of those are housing association and 4 are bought but what has that got to do with it? MOST of the residents work and pay the rent so being judgemental will not get you far... Yes she HAD to accept this and was NOT made aware of the delivery bay directly underneath her flat as balcony was locked (now she knows why) We are talking 40 tonne lorries that go underneath the length of the whole of her flat! If a shop has been permitted 1 delivery a day it should stick to it! They are BREAKING THE LAW. We're talking 2 and a half year's of complaints, this isn't just a random thing. Lorry's leaving engines on for up to 1hr and 50 minute's parked directly under her flat filling her home with diesel fumes when her son has mild asthma.
Yes so lucky to live there!! You guy's don't know half the story or what stress this has caused her or other resident's so please keep your negative thought's to yourself. Thanks

And may I just add, IF A STORE NEEDS MORE DELIVERY'S THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED, THEY NEED TO ASK PERMISSION FROM LOCAL COUNCIL...
THEY HAVE NOT!!! THEY ARE HAVING 3 TO 4 A DAY EVERYDAY WITH NO PERMISSION FROM RELEVANT PARTIES. SO AS I STATED, ARE BREAKING THE LAW! It is only now, after 2 year's of hellish living conditions for katie and untold complaints, that Lidl have NOW asked permission to have 3 delivery's (although continue to have 3 now and continue to break planning laws) Good day everyone.

Now, at last we have the truth. And as it is a housing association flat, she actually has even more rights to have this sorted, via her landlord, the housing association. They are legally obliged to deal with these matters, both the noise & the state of the flats that they own. If fumes are coming into the flats then the housing association AND RBK Environmental Health are legally bound to deal with these complaints. A pity, 190814, that your facts were not included in the article from the start. It might help if you, or Katie, told readers what times these lorries deliver. As to the condition of the flats, they must be leasehold from the landowner, & as they are very new, a claim on them, but from the housing association on their part, can be made.

MOST of the residents work and pay the rent so being judgemental will not get you far... Yes she HAD to accept this and was NOT made aware of the delivery bay directly underneath her flat as balcony was locked (now she knows why) We are talking 40 tonne lorries that go underneath the length of the whole of her flat! If a shop has been permitted 1 delivery a day it should stick to it! They are BREAKING THE LAW. We're talking 2 and a half year's of complaints, this isn't just a random thing. Lorry's leaving engines on for up to 1hr and 50 minute's parked directly under her flat filling her home with diesel fumes when her son has mild asthma.
Yes so lucky to live there!! You guy's don't know half the story or what stress this has caused her or other resident's so please keep your negative thought's to yourself. Thanks

Now, at last we have the truth. And as it is a housing association flat, she actually has even more rights to have this sorted, via her landlord, the housing association. They are legally obliged to deal with these matters, both the noise & the state of the flats that they own. If fumes are coming into the flats then the housing association AND RBK Environmental Health are legally bound to deal with these complaints. A pity, 190814, that your facts were not included in the article from the start. It might help if you, or Katie, told readers what times these lorries deliver. As to the condition of the flats, they must be leasehold from the landowner, & as they are very new, a claim on them, but from the housing association on their part, can be made.

Katie has been through everyone possible and had NO help. Hence the last resort for some help, going to the papers. I have spoke to her and she is slightly gutted that it wasn't made clear the type of hell she's been through...But herself and residents are hoping for some kind of resolution once and for all....I have witnessed these delivery's and I can assure you I would not want to live there!!!

So what it boils down to is that the local rag did a cheap & poor job. The usual easy photo of a family told to look glum, instead of timed photos of the lorries when they arrive & leave, as well as pictures of the defects in the properties. Now that would have made a very big change to the story, from the start.

Believe me Lidl drove my Husband and I out of Chessington anything they want they get. To appease the Council they sponsor the Local Fun day for families. This store should never have been built in this location. The lady concerned has my absolute sympathy if they are allowed by the Council to male 3 deliveries a day then the Local population will have definitive proof that the Local Councillors do not give a jot about residents only the Businesses. As I say I have moved away and its the best thing that we have ever done.
